I know this is a bit off topic...

Is anyone going to watch the olympics this year? I have been a bit out of the loop with this whole deal, any Canadians to watch out for? I love the short track bike racing.

If my car stillisn't ready this week, I'll have lots of time to sit around and watch the olymics.

 

I love sports and the Olympics is something i definitely enjoy watching especiallly since I have been a subscriber of HD sports for several years...I think this year we dont have a very good track and field team. We still have simon whitfield going for gold in the triathlon and our canoeing and kayaking teams prob give us the best chance at medals.....Oh yeah there is always the mens basketball team, oh wait we didnt make it cause we suck and Leo rautins should stick to broadcasting

 

he should stick to ....definitely not broadcasting

 

HaHa Good call...even noobs are getting sick and tired of having the same thing being explained to them too bad chuck is gone

 

+1..

 

I'll be rooting for my cousin Seamus McGrath, he's a part of the mens Mountain Bike team for Canada.

Hopfully the air pollution over there doesn't effect him since he has asthma!

Do you guys think Canada will ever be a powerhouse in the Summer Olympics?

 

Sure why not. After all our man Ben did start a trend back in 1988.

I believe I could fly...

 

but winning one gold medal doesn't make you a powerhouse. Canada's medal count (Gold Silver Bronze) in the last few Summer games...

2004: 3 6 3
2000: 3 3 8
1996: 3 11 8
1992: 7 4 7

Not exactly what I would call a powerhouse....seems like we're actually getting worse

 

I'm watching the opening cerimonies right now. They say we should get 12-15 medals depending on how pwerful the Chinese are.

 

So are these medals "Made in China" then?

 

If they are they are probably knock offs

 

Go China and Canada!
